"Lift High the Cross"


The last hymn in this week's Sing for Joy broadcast is "Lift High the Cross." If you go towards the end of the broadcast, you'll hear this version sung with organ and brass.

"Lift High the Cross"

Refrain

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim,
Till all the world adore His sacred Name.



Led on their way by this triumphant sign,
The hosts of God in conquering ranks combine.

Refrain

Each newborn servant of the Crucified
Bears on the brow the seal of Him Who died.

Refrain

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,
As Thou hast promised, draw the world to Thee.

Refrain

So shall our song of triumph ever be:
Praise to the Crucified for victory.

Refrain
